Changes compared to release V8.3 are,
- Added new config file parameter 'SPDMATCH'. If enabled, will look for SPD.spd file which contains the raw bytes to compare SPD bytes to. This is useful for production line testing of RAM sticks to check that SPD data programming was done correctly.
- Memory is now reserved at the beginning and released at the end of the test session to reduce frequency of memory allocations/release and improve UI responsiveness. Previously memory was allocated and deallocated immediately before and after each individual test. But it was observed that on some systems the UEFI BIOS was zeroing RAM on deallocation. Which was very slow on systems with a large amount of RAM. This change significantly speeds up testing on these systems.
- Added fallback when failing to set the menu screen size to the max supported resolution. This works around a UEFI BIOS bug and avoids a blank screen on a small number of systems.
- Added tftp.remap file for fixing backslash/forward slash issues with uploading XML files when running TFTP server on Linux machines. This is useful for some production line testing scenerios.
- Added warning message when failing to inject ECC errors for Ryzen chipsets (due to being disabled by BIOS in production systems)
- Added specific Mac Pro models to black list to workaround display and multiprocessing bugs in their UEFI BIOS
- Added preliminary ECC support for Ryzen Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000 series chips)
- Added preliminary support for retrieving CPU info for Intel Comet Lake chipsets
